How about getting rid of the "escape the cage" stipulation all together, and have all cage matches end with a pinfall or submission? That would solve the whole door problem.

The door really kills suspense because it has no room for spots, only "Guy tries to walk out, but then other guy grabs him...or he just gets out." It's really one-dimensional. Well they used to do the slam the door into the other guys head spot but I don't see that going down well today.

I was just going to suggest this. Nah. Just "lock" it. That way if EMT's need to get in there in a hurry there is nothing stopping them. Except for the whole lock & chain issue. The EMTs would need to have bolt cutters with them.

I'd prefer they bring back the old fashioned blue steel cage...

If you get rid of the door, how would they get in? Lower the cage after everyone is in the ring.

I always looked it at it as heels tried for the foor, faces went over the top.
Still, it's very stupid, and any non-wrestling fan watching would always say "Why not just use the door, OMGZZ wrestling is so gay and stupid!!!1!!!"

"Oooooh, I hate you so much, I want to get inside a cage with you, and then leave the cage!"
Yeah, that sounds like a good way to end a feud.
Make them pinfall/submission only.

If you get rid of the door, how would they get in? lower the cage when they are inside, or lock the cage door?

Agree with OP, especially since it is so easy to get out the door and they have to be so contrived to make it harder.

I am not for them. After Jim died, what's the point? A cage isn't going to bring the magic back.

LOL Yeah Cage doors are pretty pointless just lock the damn thing most cage matches have the option of pin/submission OR escape the cage so its a win/win situation for people who dont like one or the other

The most annoying thing is when a ref is standing outside and opens the door anytime someone looks in his general direction. In that case, wouldn't it be easier to simply lift the door off its hinges before the match even starts?
